I read a blog at one point of someone who was a musician as well as a supporter of MP3’s and file sharing. He looked at it like this: His music was his advertising for you to come to his concerts. He did some touring, and because he was allowing people to have his music for free, they were a little more willing to go to his show. At least, that was the theory. Music right now is like that anyway, with radio and such. I think the RIAA needs to think about that for a while, and maybe start making the concerts more prevalent than the CD’s, and make the musicians work for their money. Because you know, life as a musician on the road, with the groupies and the drinking, is a really tough life :P
